brocade 4024 firmware

[mjmendoza]

I'm about to start the upgrade process to eventually get my switches to 6.2.2. However one of my switches is woefully behind on revisions - 5.0.5 - and I need to first upgrade it to 5.2.1b before I can start applying the subsequent firmware updates. For the life of me I cannot find 5.2.1b anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

I have a link to version 5.1.0, you can update from it to 5.3.1a

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software7/COL15014/co-39912-1/v5.1.0.zip

Unless I'm just not understanding the upgrade steps - which is entirely possible - the release notes for 5.3.1a still show 5.2.1b as the earliest release for my switch. Its listed as Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem. Am I just confused on this?

Thanks,
Michael

Ah, it's true, the 4024 is the c-Class bladesystem SAN switch, so you need 5.2.1b.
Not available on HP FTP public site, but available internally. Ask them to upload it to somewhere you can get it.

If you still need 5.2.1b or any other interim SAN switch firmware not posted on hp.com, email me and I can create a temporary ftp site and upload to it.
